Episode Description

Mark Carney heads to China with designs on trade diversification. But his plans may get big pushback from some Canadian premiers, and their competing economic needs.


The Prime Minister made a stop in B.C. before his Chinese trip, for a meeting with First Nations leaders who oppose Ottawa’s pipeline pledge with Alberta, and the project’s goal to send oil to tankers along the West Coast.


Also: The U.S. President tells Iranian protesters ‘help is on the way,’ as Iran’s regime continues its brutal crackdown on demonstrators, and Canadians nervously watch the developments for any signs from loved ones caught in the unrest.


And: Soaring food prices have some Canadians doing more to watch what they eat, and spend less on eating out. And it’s having a big effect on one industry in particular.


Plus: More unrest in Minneapolis, Ottawa’s promise to tackle extortion crimes, and more.
